Hey there! I’m switching from ESXi to Proxmox — just looking for something more flexible and fun to use in my home lab. Waiting for the release of the Minisforum MS-A2 — really excited about it! Currently diving into Docker and Kubernetes, learning as I go. 😄
Welcome everyone!
Hello everyone! This is my first post in what I hope becomes one of the best home lab resources out there for learning, discussions, chats, meetups, classes, and more for those interested in self-hosting. So many are interested in self-hosting. However, there are underlying hardware, networking, and technology challenges that make it sometimes difficult to get past the hurdles that come with hosting your own services. That’s where Home Lab Explorers comes in. I want this community to be more than just a forum — I want it to be a full learning and support platform for everything home lab related. Here's what you can expect: - Classes and Workshops: Hands-on, practical classes on topics like setting up your first home server, networking fundamentals, Docker and Kubernetes for home lab, security best practices, and much more. - E-Books and Guides: Downloadable resources and step-by-step guides to help you build, troubleshoot, and scale your own home lab setup at your own pace. - Community Discussions: Dive into real-world discussions with fellow explorers about the best hardware, new technologies, self-hosted app stacks, networking setups, storage solutions, and more. - Meet-ups and Live Chats: Virtual meet-ups and live chat sessions where we can tackle problems together, demo setups, or just nerd out over the latest tech we're all trying. - Project Challenges: Fun, optional project challenges where we tackle specific goals — from standing up a new Kubernetes cluster to setting up a secure VPN gateway. - Exclusive Content and Early Access: Get early access to new tutorials, courses, and tools designed specifically for the Home Lab Explorers community. This will be a place where you can learn to build, break, and master not only your home lab, but also the underlying technologies that power so much of the world today. The fun part is you get to do it alongside like-minded people who are just as passionate about self-hosting and tech in general. Also, they/we are ready for exploration as you are!

Hello everyone! 👋 I’ve been reading your website for about a year now, and I’m excited to finally join the community. Interests: - Docker - Kubernetes - Virtualization Experience: - I use ESXi in my home lab to experiment and learn more about containerization and orchestration technologies. What I hope to gain from the community: - Knowledge exchange with other members - Help solving practical infrastructure-related tasks - Tips on building a reliable and scalable test environment for personal projects Looking forward to connecting and collaborating! 🙌
